Episode 25 with Katie Chonacas was difficult for me to hear. I saw myself in her story and, although my experiences have been different, I felt for her, what I had been feeling also for myself. And, that was incredible sadness for what she went through.
In this episode, I reflect more deeply on those experiences and, you'll also get to learn and understand how it is I found my way to do the work that I do today as both a Certified Grief Specialist and as a Reiki Master.
I share, from Victoria Shaw's episode (Episode 26) more about my experience with motherhood and my loss of self, and the path I paved on finding my way back to myself. And, not just my adult self, but the inner-child within that loved "all things woo" even as a kid.
The natural wonder of being a kid never left me, just as it hasn't left you. Life, obligations, and responsibilities have a way of sucking the fun out of life. It's up to us to bring back the wonder, the mystery, curiosity, and playback into our lives. I share how Reiki has reignited that for me - and within me.
